Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or a..
..or a dud...
A day before the fight, I wonder why there seems to be no excitement with this Floyd-Maidana fight.
I don't know why most folks, even the so-called experts, have already dismissed Maidana. Ya, granted that he doesn't have much of a style - BUT HIS AGRESSIVENESS AND POWER CAN GIVE FLOYD A BIG PROBLEM, THAT IS, IF HE REALLY CHOOSE TO FIGHT. I think if there were any fellas who'd beat the great Junior, it would've been Canelo or Maidana. But for some reason, Canelo chose to hold his guns, he didn't give any kind of credible offense in that fight. I rated him as good as Cotto in his prime and faded Cotto gave Floyd a good fight, so I thought prime Cotto or Canelo could've beaten the shat out of the duck (ok ease up babes, just kiddin' - I usually don't talk much shat around here;)). But then, I'm a bit suspicious of this fight coz why the heck would a normally picky floyd choose a fellow who imo could give him trouble. So I've got this nasty feeling that Maidana might come out as a meek lamb this Saturday night. You know almost every fighter before Canelo came out blazing in their fights with Floyd, though most gassed out early, from Hatton, Mosley to Ortiz.
On the reverse side, it is possilbe that Floyd might actually go for the KO... ya maybe not, but can't be that sure. I must be dreaming. Wasn't Maidana the fella who was KO'd by Khan?
I've always wanted to see if Floyd is for real or not and none of the fighter he chose so far convinced me. A class of fighter like Castillo giving him a hard time couldn't be that great, I always thought. Ya, no doubt Castillo is a pretty good fighter, but that's about it - a pretty good fighter. He ain't no Sugar Ray Leonard or Hearns or Hagler, that's for sure. So I was excited when Floyd chose Canelo but was really disappointed when the fight turned into a dud. I'm pretty excited again to see this coming fight. I get to see if this Great Floyd Mayweather Jr. is for real or not, that is, if Maidana really choose to fight, the way he fought Broner... ...and for some reason if floyd loses, please don't blame his split with his girl, that'll have nothing to do with it...

Very few of Floyd's fights are good, (nor even watchable for that matter, lol, sleep-inducers ! )
Maidana's gonna shock the world tomorrow night though...
Re: Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or
I'm as serious as a heart-attack.
He ain't gonna knock him out though because Floyd's going to concede on his stool between rds rather than go out on his shield...

Your posts are about as appealing as a heart attack.

I'm looking forward to following the posts here as I watch the fight.I Will be out of state during the fight the night if the but I think I can get a signal to read all the musings. I think people are excited to see the fight but it is tempered by the fact many f US see it being lopsided. The best we can hope for is Maidana making it interesting as he loses rounds.
If Khan wins I suppose he will fight Floyd next which will b another blowout but Khan could also make interesting as Khan loses most of the rounds. Boy, we have a lot to look forward to with Floyd fights. I may need to take amphetamine.
Yo, walrus, I'm back for this fight, I rarely come here for the 'other' fights but this one seems to be interesting. At least by his record, Chino is a KO artist so I'm quite curious what he can do against the great evader - I mean on the ring, of course. I know the expectation of the boxing fans but I think things won't go the same forever so his first '1' will come sooner or later unless he opts to retire before he gets one; that'll be a smart move on his part, though.

Hope what you said will be true but I'm not expecting it. I'm sure I won't be having a heart attack, maybe I'll get just a bit sleepy though.
Re: Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or
Its a just a bit predictable maybe. No doubt Maidana will swing for the fences but who doesn't with Floyd at least for a few rounds before they are leashed up and paraded around like a show pony. Besides...putting Broner on the undercard in a less than ESPN type match..on PPV...is pretty sad. They just need to keep that kid in his car seat for the night and hand him a juice box.
Collazo vs Khan might just steal this show easily. Think it'll be heated and can see both coming off the deck before its over. Thinking Collazo by tko :-X

There's a video where Floyd tries on Maidanas glose and you can immediately see there is no padding over the knuckles. The commission did reject that pair but approved others of the same type. Floyd is saying F them put him in the same gloves I'm wearing.
Almost certainly this is nothing in the long run but it's fun
Wow, didn't hear that. They goosed the gloves ??? When your only shot is to land a bomb Floyds just attacking at his foundation. Winning on the jab before the bell even rings ;D I think Maidana is the kinda guy who could care less

The video is on fighthype if you want to watch it. It's perfectly visible there's no padding over the knuckles. He pushes on the knuckle and it stays indented haha. I'd give you a link but I'm out so I'm on my crap phone as usual. I'm quite certain it will get sorted out but...
Found it man, that is interesting. Little gamesmanship and spectacle, both Everlast gloves though? The unwrapped greys could have come from anywhere

Do they really have to resort to this kind of publicity stuffs now just to sell the fight?
I just kinda felt a bit sad when I came here yesterday for the fight, no usual fireworks before Floyd fight. I remember in the 'old' days, Mayweather fights were the D-Days and things were all abuzz here at this site and there were lots of violence and bloods too. New folks will come in, throw some bombs and gets banned the same day. I'm sure spico remember some of those. And now what? just a day as usual? I thought this fight had a potential for being one of the great fights. The fight probably needs a KO this time, imo.

You'll be calling Maidana a cherry pick when Floyd beats him..
Re: Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or
Floyd is a cherry-picker, he's been doing it since 2002 when Castillo whupped him and got robbed on the cards? Were you born yesterday, son?
Y'know, previous to that fight, Floyd was an outstanding Jr-Lightweight Champ culminating in the Corrales fight in 2001. The next year, Floyd became risk-averse after Castillo whipped him in 2002. Before the Castillo fight, Floyd didn't duck people and used to fight with balls, keyword, used to. Changed his whole approach.
Gotta him some credit though, he's been fighting some top young fighters lately.
Quite amazing that he's maintained that level of conditioning for so long.
He's past his prime and lost some speed and his reflexes have slowed, but technically he's one of the best, and it'll allow him to continue to compete against younger, stronger fighters because many of them are not well-schooled nowadays. Protected too much on the way up so they don't develop as much as they should.

You don't work for Mayweather Promotions do you?
Obviously you haven't been here that long. It wasn't nothing like this few years back. Day before the fight, this board was loaded with Floyd threads and almost everyone was talking nothing but Floyd just before the fight. When I came here this morning, I just saw couple Floydy threads and even up to now, just several hours before the fight, I still don't see the main 'sticky' thread for the fight...
Am I working the Mayweather Homo, I mean Promo? heck no but if you give me a referal, I'll be glad to apply...
Re: Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or
My last post before the fight. Alright fellas, brace yourselves, I'm looking for a KO on this fight and never mind if you think I'm looking at the moons and the stars;D...
Well anywho, enjoy the fight;)...

I get exactly where you're coming from ol friend. The bigger picture, the atmosphere...the "event" of it. I remember them well and the comradery of a huge fight night was-is THE reason I love it. Ya get tired of talking to people during a live fight and %80 of them are yelling "JUST HIT HIT, WHY DON'T HE HIT HIM...then they turn to you and ask you if you think Mike Tyson can still come back :p ;D It happens.
People come, people go but the quality and depth of this place remains in stone. Many of the old school probally still float and always contribute. Life goes on and solid new members are always jumping into the mix. Hey bud lets be careful what we ask for, remember the Mayweather- Hatton crash ;D You want drug withdrawal...try a Sunday with no Saddo after a huge event ;D. Good to see you dude.

Yup the D-Days are gone but on the plus side, the place doesn't seem to crash anymore - ya I remember that was a headache, the multiple posts and all. Well I'm glad the fight seems to have been exciting as I promised. That's all that matters I guess. Stick around, ol' bud.
Re: Why No Excitement About Floyd-Marcos Fight? This Could Be a Real Good Fight! or
I guess you folks missed out on something, right? Just don't listen too much to those so-called experts, mostly of them the armchair kind and some who don't even know how to score right. Most of them missed out the fact the Maidana, with his limited skill, still has a style to capitalize on Floyd's weakness. I've got Mayweather all figured out. And I know why he has - to put it very politely so as not to ruffle some sensitive feelings - politely declined to fight Pac. Before you accuse me of being a -tard let me tell you just before the Marquez IV fight, I said I had a feeling Pac will lose that fight and even said if he gets careless, he can get knocked (down or out)...
Okay where are all the fans. Why do they all become meek and silent just before fights. Some weeks ago, when I said somethig negative about Floyd some of them eagerly jumped in to counter me. But now, even when I wrote on my main post here, 'BUT HIS (Maidana's) AGRESSIVENESS AND POWER CAN GIVE FLOYD A BIG PROBLEM.' none of them came in to defend their boy. I was expecting to here something like, 'are you kiddin' my boy will pick him all night!' But that's okay for me. This is one reason I like to come here just before the fight, there are lot less shatty talks around and I don't like to talk much shat either. And that goes for the peds stuff too. Believe me, if there was something like a fight night for it, they're all be gone too..
Okay, you may now all come out of your closets...;D;)
